Pokémon X & Y Will be Playable at Gamescom 2013

Nintendo will be in attendance at the upcoming Gamescom event in Cologne, Germany from 21st to 25th August, and has been promising plenty of exciting releases as playable demos. The list of games at the show has been unveiled, with the blockbuster announcement likely to be confirmation that Pokémon X & Y will be playable in Europe for the first time, with Nintendo saying that it's "a short demo that gives a little taste of Kalos... and the thrill of battling with new Pokémon."

We suspect there'll be some lengthy queues for that one, but there's lot more on offer and listed below.

Welsh ex-pat Tom is responsible for the day-to-day running of the site. He's the guy to thank for the generally brilliant nature of the content which massages your eyeballs on a daily basis. Also has an unhealthy obsession with all things Bowser.

Good to see Mario 3D World on the list, was notably absent from yesterdays ND and I was worried about it not being released in 2013. A month would have been nice. I mean it has to be December right w/ Zelda and Donkey Kong in Oct and Nov?

Ild normally request X + Y demoes being released on the 3DS but really wants the point, I think most people are beyond being swayed either way by a Pokemon demo.
